We wanted to take the opportunity to introduce the 2021-2022 Exec Board. First off is our President, Rachel Allgood. Rachel is a 3L who graduated from Arkansas State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Sport Management and a minor in General Business. Here's what Rachel had to say about her goals and plans for the upcoming year:

"My career goals are to end up working in the sports and entertainment world in some capacity. I also have an interest in IP law - especially copyright and trademark. Whether working for a sports brand, team, or entertainment clients, I see myself being very involved in a high-paced job. Having been involved in collegiate sports, I'm interested in seeing the behind-the-scenes of professional sports and entertainment business.

This year, I'm looking forward to interacting with the community and being back on campus to interact with members. We have a lot to look forward to, and I'm super excited to see our current and new members this year."

We're excited to see all the great things she'll accomplish as President!

A “Force Majeure Clause” simply addresses unforeseeable circumstances that prevent someone from fulfilling a contract. Do you think the NFL will have issues because they didn’t include such a clause in their CBA agreements?

There are plenty of aspects of the Collective Bargaining Agreement that benefit the NFL. There is one provision, or lack thereof, that could significantly benefit the NFL Players Association in the event that there’s no football season in 2020. The NBA’s CBA has a so-called force majeure provisi...
